Steven & David | NYC Elopement Photographer | Central Park Conservatory Gardens
Oh my goodness. I had SUCH a ball at this wedding! Steven and David were two of the sweetest guys ever and made for two incredibly handsome grooms! Wouldn’t you say? Also, their outfits were perfect, I think they need to start modeling for Jcrew!
The original plan had been for them to get married in Fort Tryon park, however, because of the damage from Hurricane Sandy, we relocated things to Central Park. Steven went up to the parks office and actually got a special permit on short notice so they could have the wedding in the Conservatory Gardens. I’d been up to this area of the park before, but had never done a wedding here. It’s SO gorgeous!
Before the wedding, we wandered through a few blocks of upper Manhattan around the City Museum of New York for some lovely portraits.
You guys make my heart happy.
In love with this image.
Side note. David crocheted his own scarf! How cool is that? 
Their rings came in a wax sealed box. So fancy!
Their ceremony, performed by Kim Kirkley, was beautiful and heartfelt. These two were surrounded by so much love and support, it was wonderful.They even had a guest via skype!
So much happiness.
Steven and David, I can’t thank you enough for having me! Your day was fabulous and you both are wonderful! Best wishes, congratulations and cheers to many years of happiness for you both!

Sara and Shannon | New York City Elopement Photographer | City Hall | Brooklyn Bridge Park
Sara and Shannon are a fabulous pair! They came up from North Carolina to get married at the end of September and we had a wonderful afternoon wandering through Brooklyn and around City Hall.
The plan had been for me to meet them at City Hall after they got a waiver signed by a judge so they could marry on the same day they got their license. (NYC normally has a 24 hour waiting period.) However, the judge they got to sign their waiver unexpectedly married them on the spot! So when they showed up to City Hall, they were already married! I was sad not to get to photograph the ceremony, but it sounded like their judge was pretty awesome. Then we just had loads of time for portraits (which was good since City Hall was a madhouse that day), so everything worked out in the end!
It rained briefly in the morning, but then things cleared up just in time for photos! Hurray!
After a round of photos at City Hall, we jumped on the subway and headed over to Brooklyn!
You girls are ridiculously cute.
There was fist bumping and thumb wrestling to be had in Dumbo, obviously.
No trip to the Brooklyn Bridge Park is complete without a ride on Jane’s Carousel!
LOVE.
To cap things off, we stopped off at Brooklyn Farmacy for a fun fizzy drink and some ice cream! A perfect way to end the day! Sara and Shannon, thanks for a great afternoon! I hope you had a wonderful time in the city and good luck with your new house!! Congrats!

Laryssa & Sharyn | Hudson Valley Wedding Photography | 1773 Calendar House
When I first met with Laryssa and Sharyn a few months ago I was completely smitten. Not only did we meet at the most adorable tea shop ever for brunch (seriously, it’s so cute!) but I had a great time chatting with both these ladies. I called my husband right afterwards to say how awesome they were and how I would be so excited if I got to shoot their wedding!
I got my wish and this wedding was amazing in every way. When I was finishing up at the reception, I went to congratulate Laryssa and told her this was seriously one of the most gorgeous weddings I’ve seen in my whole life ever. I may have a tendency to exaggerate when I’m excited, but truly this wedding was so very beautiful inside and out! The setting was perfect, the details were lovely, and most importantly had two wonderful brides who could not be more clearly in love.
Laryssa and Sharyn were married in the little tiny town of Elizaville, NY on the grounds of the 1773 Calendar House, a historic farmhouse surrounded by acres of orchards and farmland. They had a peacock theme for the day, starting off with these amazing shoes!
Gorgeous brooches for Sharyn’s dress.
They didn’t want to do a super formal first look, but still thought it’d be fun to wait until they were all ready to see each other for the first time. The look on Sharyn’s face the first time she saw Laryssa is priceless!
I love it!
From there we headed out to the grounds to get a few more portraits. I seriously wanted to take photos of these ladies all day. SO BEAUTIFUL!
Their ceremony was so full of joy and bursting with love. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t wiping away teary eyes behind my lens.
I’m pretty sure this is my favorite ceremony shot ever!
Their reception was in a tent on the grounds and had so many lovely details.
They had all their guests sign the ketubah by adding a finger print to the peacock! How cool is that??
Before entering the reception, there was a ceremony to honor Laryssa’s Ukrainian heritage. Each bride lit a candle with their family, and then shared bread and wine. They were then welcomed into the tent by everyone singing!
Laryssa and Sharyn, thank you SO SO much for having me photograph your wedding! I had an amazing time and it was an honor to be part of your celebration. You are both so very awesome and I wish you many years of happiness!
